Strange Love

I Give In To Sin
Mark Patton & Freddy Krueger

Freddy & Jesse sitting in a dream...

Remember the heavily gay subtext of A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge? Of course you do it's notoriety has only increased with time.

Well here's a shot of the betrothed couple Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton) & Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) 

I rewatched this not too long ago for the first time since it came out and I must say I'm surprised that it even got made. Honestly I know I referred to the gay elements in it as subtext, but let's face it there was nothing subtle about it.

Mark Patton does make a great Scream Queen and Robert Englund will always be Freddy Krueger no matter who else may play him in future endeavors.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

One, Two Freddy's Coming For You...

The Icon
Robert Englund

Congratulations are in order to Robert Englund aka Freddy Krueger who was immortalized on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame with a Star this past Friday aka Halloween.

Robert is a classically trainer actor and it shows in his portrayal of one of the most iconic embodiments of evil to ever appear on the Silver Screen.

Freddy has given many people nightmares through out the years and then some.

I happened upon them getting ready for the ceremony in Hollywood so I thought it would be fun to include a before photo of what setting up the stage looked like before the actual to do.

Check it after the jump! 

Sorry to see October go it's my favorite month, and what a great month it was!

Hump Day & Chill

Having A Kiki
Jason, Ghostface & Freddy

This photo of three icons of horror is awesome, whoever created it deserves a four screams and a machete.

I titled this photo, how could I not? Thus today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to what I call: Scream It's Friday On Elm Street. 

Now the beauty of this weeks Hump Day & Chill is I'm sure we can all come up with a clever title for a photo that features Jason, Freddy & Ghostface.

"Yes" it's an interactive HD&C for all you horror fans out there, like myself.

So get to it you ghouls and send me those clever titles that I know you can all think of, right here, right now...

1,2 Freddy's coming for you and he's bringing Jason and Ghostface along for extra Hump Day & Chill terror!!!

The Horror: Child Eater

Nom, Nom, Nom, Nom...

Based on the popular short film with the same name, Child Eater is the directorial debut of Erlingur Thoroddsen and is a creepy, stylish roller-coaster ride inspired by the classic horror films of the 1980's.The deal was negotiated by Eric D. Wilkinson for MVD Entertainment Group and Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz for Boulderlight Pictures on behalf of the filmmakers.

 

In Child Eater, little Lucas (Colin Critchley) goes missing from his bedroom in the middle of the night, his babysitter Helen (Cait Bliss) ventures out into the deep, dark woods armed only with a flashlight. But these are no ordinary woods. They were once the home of Robert Bowery (Jason Martin), a serial killer who years ago came for children's eyes in order to keep himself from going blind. But Robert Bowery was stopped and killed... or was he? 

 

Originally conceived as an award nominated short at SXSW back in 2012, producer Perri Nemiroff shares her excitement in turning it into a full length feature film and it's 1980's horror inspiration: "Having grown up in the 80s, we're undeniably influenced by classic slashers like Freddy, Jason and Michael Myers, and also the tone of their respective films, particularly their ability to deliver powerful scares, but exhilarating and enjoyable ones, too. Child Eater is bigger, badder and scarier and really gave us the chance to subvert genre tropes and truly show horror fans things they've never seen before."

Following its World Premiere at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival that boasted sold out screenings (a second late night screening was added which was sold out as well) in addition to winning four awards at the Fantastically Horrifying Cinema Festival (including Best Film, Best Cinematography and Best Actress), MVD Entertainment Group picked up the film for North American distribution. MVD's Director of Acquisitions, Eric D. Wilkinson, expressed his excitement about the film: "Like the filmmakers, I too grew up on 80's horror and immediately fell in love with this movie. Robert Bowery is every bit as scary as Freddy Kruger and in some ways, even more so. After fans watch this film I'm willing to bet they will be sleeping with their closet lights on!"

 

MVD Entertainment Group has scheduled Child Eater for release on March 28th via VOD, Digital and DVD.

 

The DVD can be ordered at the MVD Shop or on Amazon

Sunday Schwing! Mark Patton "Freddy's "Revenge"

Need A Hand?
Mark Patton

Remember A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge? The least successful sequel of the series at the time, the one that was like a puzzle piece that didn't fit? You know the sequel where the protagonist Jesse portrayed by Mark Patton was a tortured teen struggling with his homosexuality, yeah that one.

Well here is some great commentary and coverage of it by Tye Briggs from Favorite Hunks and Other Things and of course it is accompanied by images of Mark in nothing but underwear and naked! Boo!

Don't ever let anyone tell you horror can't be sexy, enjoy this blast from that past and Happy Schwinging!

Here is the NSFW link blow! "One two Freddy's coming for you, three four better lock the door..."

It's October 1st my minions and you all know by now what that means, thirty more days until Halloween!!! Boo-yah! 

As you can see I am not clowning around and excited for the upcoming Black Celebration. Yes I just made a reference to a Depeche Mode song that fits the season like that missing piece from a Jigsaw puzzle. (Yes, that was a Saw reference ; )

There are so many reasons to love Halloween more than Christmas. One is Satan, who is my favorite mythological beast. He gets a lot more play this time of year. Two is my favorite horror film of all time is named after it, like duh, the title is John Carpenter's Halloween. Three there is magic in the air, with no judgement calls on the source of it. Four is that Freddy Krueger will be haunting somebody's dreams that night, jamming! Need I go on? I thought not.

Cheers to the month of the macabre on Entertain Me I promise you lots of edgy & downright questionable posts from here on out. All bets are off, and no one is safe...so let's get the party started with Black Celebration below by Depeche Mode, Ghouls!

The Horror: Michael Shinafelt, Satan In Disguise

When Satan Met Me

The above title is the LAST time I will refer to myself in the third person during this post, to me that is more creepy than a Satanic Ritual...

So my fellow writer and horror fan-atic author ME Franco and I had so much fun with my Halloween questions to her, that she decided to ask me some, from one horror loving writer to another, oh but I have taken my love of horror to the next level, that's right, I have acted in a horror film as well as another one due in 2014.

OK, ME I'm all yours!

ME: Being a horror movie lover, I have to say you get major respect points from me for being in one. I watched the trailer for"The Summer of Massacre,"and I can't wait to watch it. What character did you play and how did he die?

MS: The Summer of Massacre is an anthology and I am in the segment "Son of the Boogeyman" I play a cop pursuing the Boogeyman and I start shooting him in the head and he just won't die, you know those Boogeymen, and he grabs my skull and crushes it in, it was awesome seeing my death on a 50 foot screen!

Me and  Scott Barrows Who Played "The Boogeyman" at 'The Summer of Massacre" Premiere

ME:. If you could star in the remake of a popular horror franchise, who would you want to be?

MS: Oh God, OK let me start by stating my ultimate horror role would be Satan, some people already think that about me anyway, ha! But in an existing franchise? Norman Bates from the "Psycho" franchise, I would give him my own spin, but what a fascinating character.

ME: What movie made you a horror fan?

MS: My Dad and I used to watch all the monster movies like Dracula, The Wolfman, Mummy etc. on Sunday afternoons, but it was the first slasher film that he ever took me to, and the only one that has ever scared me that made me a fan. The original "Halloween" I used to see Michael Myers face in the yard outside when it was dark for years.

ME: You do a lot of interviews. Who would you like to have on your blog for a chat - Freddie, Michael Myers, or Jason?

MS: Michael and Freddy are pretty much open books, I would have to go with Jason, try and find out more about the man behind the monster.

ME: Which witch would you not want to make an enemy of on American Horror Story this season?

MS: That's easy, Marie Leveau, I visited her grave site for real in New Orleans once when I went for Halloween, "Yes" I went to NO for HW once.

ME:. What candy do you have in your trick or treat bowl?

My Favorite "Dracula"!

MS: Mini Snickers bars.

ME: Love that more horror shows are coming out on television. What show are you most looking forward to this season?

MS: I'd have to go Team Dracula with this one, when I was a kid I used to want to be a Vampire when I grew up.

ME: Classic monster fight between Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy. Who would you put your money on?

MS: Frankenstein is strong, but not too bright, the Mummy what's he going to do. put a band aid on it? I'd say Dracula, intelligent, supernatural powers and sex appeal, a winning combo.

ME: Do you have any plans to star in more horror movies?

MS: I shot another one this past summer that is due out in 2014.

ME:. If you could sit down and have a beer/coffee with anyone involved in the horror genre, real or fictional, who would you choose?

MS: Hmmmmmmmmmm....Miriam Blaylock from "The Hunger" that would be an interesting conversation, and encounter.

ME: Last question: What's your zombie apocalypse weapon of choice?

MS: The biggest shot gun I could find. It would be awesome to make their living dead heads explode!
